A visit to Cozumel cannot be complete without visiting Palancar Reef, Colombia Reef, and Starfish Bay (also known as El Cielo or Heaven). You will be amazed as you snorkel through these amazing sites that are considered the best locations for a unique snorkeling experience. There's limited spacing so please reserve in advance. It's an experience you do not want to miss out on!
Adventure awaits just a short 10-minute ride from your designated cruise ship terminal to the meeting location. Your certified guide will be waiting for your arrival to proceed with check-in. You'll then hop aboard the boat that will take you to the first sites - Palancar and Colombia Coral Reefs. You will be given you sanitized snorkeling set and brief safety instructions.
Please note: Observers are welcome. There is a glass viewing window in the bottom of the boat so they can see the marine life below (pricing is the same for riders and snorkelers). Children under 4yrs old are free (one per couple). Regular child rates apply to others. See pricing below for more information.
Located within the Marine Park boundaries, Palancar and Colombia Reefs are thriving with marine life. The reefs at both sites are shallow so viewing is exceptional and up close. You will have about 30+ minutes at each site before heading towards the secluded area where few boats are allowed due to limited permits. El Cielo or "Heaven" in Spanish, is truly just that...heavenly. The shallow, crystal clear water is abundant with starfish on the pure white sandy bottom of the bay.
You will be provided with bottled water, juice, and beer on the boat. Whenever you had enough paradise for the day, you may take a return taxi back to your Cozumel cruise ship terminal.
